New Mount: Invincible Charger

InvincibleBlizzard has just released a preview for a new mount being introduced in Rocca della Corona di Ghiaccio.\r\rThe Invincible Charger was once Arthas' warhorse before becoming the Lich King and once he gained his powers he rose it from the dead making it his perfect steed.\r\rTo obtain this mount you must conquer Icecrown Citadel and face the Lich King on Heroic difficulty. Only one will drop from Re dei Lich on heroic mode, much like how Testa di Mimiron drops from the heroic version of Yogg-Saron.\r\rhttp:\/\/www.worldofwarcraft.com\/info\/underdev\/3p3\/invincible.xml\r\rUpdate: Blizzard posted an FAQ which you can read after the break.\r\rRiding on the chill winds that flow around the frozen spires of Icecrown Citadel comes the once-noble steed of Prince Arthas Menethil. Now this beast, raised from its grave, bears the fearsome Lich King on its winged back. Even in undeath, it remains an ever-faithful servant. Learn more of its tainted history here.\r\rhttp:\/\/www.worldofwarcraft.com\/info\/underdev\/3p3\/invincible.xml\r\rFAQ\r\rQ. Is the mount available in both 10 and 25 Heroic?\rA. Invincible will only be available in the 25-person Heroic encounter with the Lich King.\r\rQ. Is it a random drop or is it a guaranteed drop?\rA. Much like Mimiron's head, one lucky player will be able to attain this incredible mount when the Lich King is defeated in his strongest form.

That mount is so epic. I can't imagine how hard the Lich King himself will be on heroic mode. Definately a worthy mount though.

That mount is awesome, not just the looks, the lore behind it is just awesome too.

Looks like they took some old bed sheets and attached it to the horse's body using sticks and duct tape.

looks kinda crappy. I mean, its fitting, but I wouldn't really want it if we were just going off looks. Those wings are just odd.

I still think the headless horseman's mount is the best ever.

Well hopefully the model will be updated before release. The wings are kinda goofy looking when folded.\r\rEither way, this definitely beats any available mount so far IMO.

I think I would rather try my hand @ Al'ar. Pheonix> Undead pegasus any day

I think it would be cool if they did a ground mount that was similar in style to http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/?item=32458#screenshots and of course make it insanely hard to get just like the phoenix.

I like it.\r\rmake it insanely hard to get just like the phoenix.\r\rI think the fact that it can only be obtained from doing Hard Mode and most likely has a low drop rate will make it insanely hard to get.

Nice!\r\rBut, imagine, if a piece if Arthas truly is left in the Lich King, and say, Invincible were a mini boss, or part of the encounter itself, killing it would cause LK to ROFL Stomp the raid

I wish the running\/flight animation for this mount's legs were a little more graceful, like horses in RL. When it is 'charging' through the air it looks as if it's front pasterns have been broken and the hooves are dangling there (not to mention the hooves are HUGE and ridiculous looking).\r\rI have to agree with lokibrth, the Headless Horsemen's Mount is way cooler. Both in realistic horse design and unique, glowing color. Though the wings on Invincible are pretty wicked (but also terribly animated).

It's not all about the aesthetics for Invincible. It's the lore, the memories, the emotion. Arthas was really close to the horse, after all. It's not just there to look epix lol - Although that's how the majority of the playerbase will see it.

Well, Invincible did break his front legs\/feet\/pasterns when he slipped before a jump, according to the lore.

Once outside, Arthas guided Invincible over a familiar jump, but the stallion slipped on slick ice, and the fall shattered his forelegs.
